DiMe Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Hi I was wondering if any one had any ideas of how to fix this damage on my Rome Artifact. Not sure how it happened but behind my back binding the edge is seperating from the sidewall so there is now a gap inbetween the sidewall in the edge for about a 3 inch distance. I tried JB welding and clamping in between 2 2x4s for a couple days while it dried and that only held for about a week. Anyone have any idea of a good epoxy or glue to fix this issue? I will post pictures later for better visual on the damage. It's a bronze edge thats why its brown btw. Edited March 21, 2009 by DiMeThIcOnE Quote
DiMe Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 Please change topic to Edge Separating hehe Quote
Tyler Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) epoxy and clamps edit: sorry i didnt read. i just use the 5 min epoxy from wal mart it usually holds ok, sometimes it re cracks though. just make sure its dry when you do it Edited March 21, 2009 by Oakley21 Quote
mollyskeez Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 same thing happened to my skis. i went home forgot about it and water got in there and it got really big which resulted in a 10 inch section of my edge falling out. I would def. epoxy it now and i would let theboard sit a couple days before u do it cuz u dont want to lock moister that may have gotten in there in there. Quote

I epoxyed it again and have it clamped again hopfully it will hold. Quote

I've already had the board for a couple seasons and it's got alot of impact damage in other spots especially since the bronze edges are so soft. As long as the epoxy holds I'll be happy I plan on getting a new butter board next season anyways I'm so curious how the new rocker tech is I'd love to try a K2 www w/ rocker. Quote
Schif Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 your board has bronze edges? Yeah, i noticed that some boards were doing that when I looked at Rome's last year. They are on the park boards so they are softer. Quote
rgrwilco Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 rome artifacts have bronze edges so that they dont hang up on rails. even though they do. Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Bronze also doesn't rust or oxidize, additionally it is less prone to metal fatigue than steel. It is however much softer. Quote
